Engineered Decking Solutions for Richmond Properties
The Tree Amigos install composite and hardwood decking in Richmond upon Thames (TW9, TW10, SW13, SW14, TW1), utilizing premium Millboard and Trex systems along with luxury hardwood and softwood options.
From prestigious Georgian and Victorian townhouses on Richmond Hill and Barnes village cottages to riverside properties in Twickenham and spacious family gardens in Teddington and Kew, our bespoke decking installations enhance outdoor entertaining space with architectural elegance.
Richmond's soils range from sandy, free-draining loam near the River Thames to heavier London clay deposits further inland. To guarantee dimensional stability and prevent moisture rot, every deck is constructed on a strength-graded C24 structural timber framework elevated on concrete pad footings and breathable geotextile membrane.
We travel ~18-20 miles southwest from our South London base via the A205 South Circular and A3, delivering dedicated founder-led project management across Richmond upon Thames with zero travel surcharges.
